| Waste Item |
How should it be packaged for collection? |
Where does it go for processing/ disposal/ reuse/ treatment etc.? |
Any additional comments? |
| Chemically contaminated Gloves |
Bagged & contained in a suitable overdrum (eg. Plastic bucket or fibre
keg) |
Incineration |
If these can be contained in manageable sized strong bags eg. Clinical
waste bags they are easier to manage |
| Chemically contaminated Paper Waste(eg. paper towels, tissue etc.) |
Bagged & contained in a suitable overdrum (eg. Plastic bucket or fibre
keg) |
Incineration |
If these can be contained in manageable sized strong bags eg. Clinical
waste bags they are easier to manage |
| Glass Winchester bottles |
Any way to contain the bottles is fine (eg. Boxes or fibre kegs) or we
can collect loose bottles and pack them in this manner during collection. |

Most of this type of glass cannot be recycled |
| Other glassware (broken) which has been contaminated with chemicals such
as stirring rods, beakers, burettes, pipettes etc. |
A plastic bucket or lined (plastic bag) fibre keg is the best option.
Whatever packaging is used the weight of the end unit would be the most
important. |

Most pyrex glass is non-recyclable. |
| Plastic containers which held chemicals such as Hydrogen peroxide, Hydrofluoric
acid |
If the original seals (lids) are available these should be placed back
on the containers. The containers can then be collected as is or placed
in a suitable over packing container (this will be size dependent eg. 15L
DGA as opposed to 500ml bottles) |

It is always good to know what has been in a drum. Eg for hydrofluoric
acid the residues can still be very toxic and appropriate PPE needs to used
when decontaminating |
